Royal American Links Golf Club

no ranger on the course real slow play seemed like it would be a nice course if faster play

Starter was useless. Offered no information as to pin placements, cart rules, and proceeded to talk with his buddy during each one of our foresomes tee shots. Really makes me reconsider playing this course again. Get your staff on the same page, you are in a service industry and there a numerous other options available.

Prices are high for food and beverage.

For the price there is no better place to play in Columbus

For being early in the season, this course was in great shape. The greens were fast and ran true. Like almost all other courses in Ohio at this time of the year, the course was moderately wet, but still playable. Gotta love the price provided by Golf Now. I will definitely be playing this course again. Can't wait to see it in full bloom.

Clean course, well maintained, definitely one of the better kept courses in the Columbus area. I would definitely recommend RAL to anyone looking for a fun round that will test you on a few occasions.

I love playing this golf course. It's a fun challenge for my skill level and I really enjoy the course layout. Every time I've been there its been in great shape and I'm always sad when the round is over. The normal greens fees seem fair for how nice of a course it is, but if you can get a good deal it's a steal. Highly recommended.

The course is challenging when the wind blows. The greens and fairways were in excellent condition. You have to place your shots both off the tee and onto the green.

Pace of play was horrible due to a fivesome being allowed to play together. If the course was not aware, they should have been.

We played RAL the day after the storms came through Columbus. It was cart path only on every hole. The course was very wet so that meant no roll on your drives. We lost two balls on the other side of the cart path (rough) because the balls were under so many leaves and we had to walk so far from the cart path... Just couldn't find them... other than that, the course was in great condition.

The course was well kept except for numerous ball marks on the greens. Play was quick due to the course being empty...I played at 3:45pm in the cold.

My son and i both love this course.challenging enough
For both of us.we played right at 3 hours 15 mins.
Had a great round, great bonding time,at a great course.
Definitely recommend to others.my son beat me week
Before, but dad got honors back this time..

My friend and I nearly had the course to ourselves when we golfed RAL on a weekday afternoon with scattered showers popping up intermittently. There had been showers earlier in the day but the course was still in great shape. Upon arriving and getting started the staff was very friendly and helpful. During the round all of the tee boxes seemed well kept. Really, everything about the course seemed to be well maintained. Something usually sticks out in my memory when something isn't right about a course, but even on a soggy day I can't think of anything that I thought was sloppy or untidy. As a novice-intermediate golfer I thought the course was fun and challenging without being intimidating. Whether you're like me and just want to go out and enjoy yourself, or you're looking for a challenge, I don't think anyone who plays this course (mid-week with no slow pokes in front of you or speed demons behind you) could leave being disappointed.

This course continues to be a fine public course. There are many forced carries and lay up holes, with numerous bunkers and lakes. For mid -October, the course remains in excellent condition. Well groomed fairways, with pretty thick rough.

Greens roll true and at normal speeds. The course had a lot of customers for a Tuesday afternoon, indicative of a fine course.

I live in California and you can't find golf course for price I paid with great shape it is in.

Nice course, well taken care of, tees were a little shaggy but not too bad, fairways, bunkers and greens were in great shape, the range was closed, not sure why. Greens had just been treated but still rolled very well. Starter got me out ahead of a large group so pace of play wasn't a problem. This is a great value course with a Golf Now discount.

Well kept and challenging. Love to play again. Definitely play again

It has been 5 years since I played this course since I moved to Chicago. This course is a good track to play. I always have a good time.
I met a couple nice guys that were also singles. Had a great time finishing the course.
I will be back to play again.
Thanks!

Played on a weekday. It took almost 5 hours. No ranger, no one checking the pace nothing. A foursome two groups ahead took had everything backed up. At the turn we told them about the situation and their response was " I think those are members". They didn't send anyone out to talk to the group, and summarily dismissed us. We will not play there again, even if it was FREE.

I have played Royal American a number of times over the years, it is a good value for the greens fees. The date we played it was wet from rain and the fairways were soggy but otherwise is still maintained well, greens in very good condition. A great layout - always challenging. Would play more often but it is out of the way, a 45 minute drive for me from Hilliard.

Got a hot time on Golfnow for $9, which is painfully cheap. The course was extremely well maintained, probably top 2 in Columbus I have played this year (50+ rounds). Greens were in great shape, my only wish is that they had been cut down a bit more. Pace of play was great even with a group on every hole. Played until dark and the staff did not force us to quit or seem bothered. Will definitely be back.
